Cricket in schools
We are very proud of the work our coaches across the county delivery across both Primary, Secondary and Special Schools
Reaching children young has always been a priority for us in Gloucestershire as we truly believe that if young people have a positive experience of cricket, there is a much greater chance they will play the game as they grow up.
We also heavily promote values such as:
Engagement
Competition
Teamwork
Inclusion
Fair play
Discipline
We are incredibly proud to work with a number of partners on a variety of schools programmes:
